Two Themes That Affect Marlow And Kurtz In Heart Of Darkness
.... The cannibals action is "one of those human secrets that
baffle probability." This helps Marlow keep his restraint, for if the
natives can possess this quality Marlow feels he certainly can.
Kurtz is the essence of the lack of restraint Marlow sees
everywhere. Kurtz has "kicked himself loose from the earth." "He owes no
allegiance to anything except those animal powers, those various lusts,
those unpermitted aspirations lurking in the darkness of his inner station.
Marlow also responds to these dark callings, and he almost becomes their
captive. He confuses the beat of the drum (the call to man's primitive
side) w .....

The Jordan Rules By Sam Smith
.... for not getting along very good with fellow players. Even
with all of the problems inside the club they still looked good on the
court and were good enough to win. The Jordan Rules did a very good job of
describing a whole year of basketball in one book. It had good, in depth,
logs of exactly what the players do on off days and before their games.
Although it tells that Jordan was very involved with community service he
had problems with the ballclub. He led the team to victory and he got what
he wanted, a championship.Micheal Jordan is still the superstar to me that
I have always thought he is. The book did not change any .....

The Scarlet Letter: Visions Of A Past Society
.... baby in her arms,
and at the ignominious letter on her breast.
P. 52, 53
As this is happening, all the people see is the crime that Hester
committed, not the person behind it. They do not take into consideration,
that the crime itself, is not as evil as they make it out to be. Hawthorne
describes it as enjoyable to the spectators, by showing the children watch
her and laugh as she makes her way to the scaffold. It's as though the
people of the Puritan religion are heartless, ruthless, cold blooded, and
that what is going on, is considered fun.
Aside from forcing Hester to stand on the scaffo .....

Comparing "Waiting For Godot" To "Hollow Men"
.... do not. The
second act is almost an exact repeat of the first, but Lucky and Pozzo have
fallen upon hard times. Pozzo has become blind and pathetic, and Lucky has
become dumb. This change in events is a direct point of life being
terrific one moment, and worthless the next. Godot never shows up. The
play ends with the two considering to go somewhere, but they do not.
The similarity of this play to Eliot's poem is remarkable. Eliot's
Love Song is in the first person point of view, and this person refers to “
you,” who is probably a woman. It is about a man who want to do so much -
be with pretty woman, make something of his .....

with Raymond, listen to Salamando and have casual sex all because they do

resolve their disputes by embracing each other. Meursault's honesty
prevents him from showing any emotions that he does not have. These ways
of expressing their emotions reveals their views of life. Meursault .....

Was Sir Tomas More's Decision Correct?
.... he was enforcing a law within the church
that his followers would have to live by. Therefore from the point of view
of the catholic church, which was represented in the play by Chapuys,
More's decision was correct. For if one believes, as More did, in an
everlasting sole and the catholic interpretation of life & death then you
must believe that More did do the right thing. There for according to
More's beliefs, he must be living in heaven while Henry and the rest of his
followers are residing in hell for their sins.
On the other hand, when looked upon by the state More's actions
constitute treason meaning he was undeniably i .....

Summary: Lord Of The Flies
.... of self-confidence. His interaction with Piggy
showed that he was not ill-natured. Although he laughed at Piggy's name,
it was not with real malice for he had ridiculed his external appearance.
Piggy's rather unique attributes had made him an outcast of the mainstream
of boys at his age, and his lack of self-esteem reflected that. He too
seemed good-natured as he behaved in a polite fashion. The fact that Piggy
was knowledgable and well-educated was made apparent by his air of
responsibility.
The conch was presented as a symbol of authority and order. It
summoned all the boys from the island to the assembly, an .....
